Ureteral atresia is a rare disease usually associated with non-functioning kidney. Its association other urinary anomalies rare.In this study we discuss the possibility of congenital or acquired etiology right imperforate distal ureter. Here report case 11-month-old white boy ureteropelvic junction obstruction. He underwent pyeloplasty when he was 11-months old, and 3 weeks after surgery cystoscopy performed. Two months first operation, ureteral meatoplasty new pyeloplasty.To best our knowledge, few cases ureter have been described in literature. The suspicion non-patent terminal ureter, occurring during upper tract surgery, must be intraoperatively clarified to preserve renal function avoid more complex surgical approaches.
